How to publish a 3rd party RSS within my site?

Is there any way to take an RSS feed from an external site and publish it into a Dolphin site? We have a jobs site and I would like to automatically publish links to job ads within the community using our jobs RSS feed. Does anyone know if this is possible?

You can add an RSS block to the page.  Click the block to edit it - there's a field to enter the feed URL, along with a few display options.

Thanks Nathan - that's certainly an option, but the lack of functionality is a little disappointing. For example I couldn't choose just to display the title for each item - I'd have to display the description as well, and I can't add an additional link to the block (e.g. a 'View all jobs' link' that goes to the jobs page on our site), but by default the block has a link to my RSS feed page at the bottom - which I think would be confusing for most people as most people wouldn't understand what they were looking at when they got there. It also wouldn't enable my members to comment on each feed item or share it etc, where as if they were posted automatically into a forum this would be possible.

Does anyone know of any alternatives?

If you are looking for custom display options in your feeds, you can make adjustments to the RSS by editing the respective CSS files. Be more detailed about what you are trying to accomplish and we'll see if we can help.
